Valuation
The most recent sale price indexed forward to today's value is £77,807. This is one data point to inform the valuation. Another method is the valuation implied by what comparable homes are selling for. Homes in South Shields are now selling for between £1,090 and £2,040 per square metre (£101 and £189 per square foot). Based on an internal area of 70 m², this implies a valuation between £76,000 and £143,000. Treat this as context only.
